27th June: Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman, political activist and anarchist was born on this date in 1869. Some quotes from her, which I will just leave here:

1. If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal.
2. Someone has said that it requires less mental effort to condemn than to think.
3. The motto should not be: Forgive one another; rather understand one another.
4. The most unpardonable sin in society is independence of thought.
5. When we can't dream any longer we die.
6. If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution.
7. Crime is naught but misdirected energy.
8. The most violent element in society is ignorance.
9. People have only as much liberty as they have the intelligence to want and the courage to take.
10. Politicians promise you heaven before elections and give you hell after.
